Hi, the controller is Kouwell 571S-4 , it is based on 2 chips Sil 3112, each chip provides 2 ports. I don't think it's matter of power or heat, server is huge, but has good cooling and 550 W Enermax PSU. My friend has same problems and he tested it, problem persists no matter how many HDDs (1-4) or PCI cards in computer. For Tejun: I will provide that list from lspci as soon as machine will be up, unfortunately machine's OS is stucked in error and I can't reset it now. For more info: there is Gentoo linux on box, most packages on latest builds, kernel is from vanilla sources with custom configuration, but I tried also several kernels from gentoo sources.

It *might* be R_ERR on DMA activate FIS. -- tejun - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
